The Ironwood

The Ironwood is a forest located just north of Torrin, and is its primary source of lumber as well as hunting game. A wide variety of animals live in the Ironwood, such as boars, deer, rabbits and other such game. Stories of griffons circling the lowlands for food have also spread.

The forest gets its name from the tough bark of the trees that is said to be as tough as the iron, and coinciding with this fact, there are a number of large iron deposits within the earth of the forest.

History
In 112 P.S., a boar known as Old Irontusk that had been twisted by old magic ravaged the countryside of Torrin. A group of hunters who would come to be known as the Iron Arrows defeated the boar, bringing a relative peace to the people of Valgrun. The monstrous creature known as Irontusk was slain by Aeblar who gained the moniker Iron-Eye.
